You awaken amidst the darkness with only a faint light to greet you. Your body is hemmed in by shards of crystals, gently sparkling and possibly pricking your skin. The surrounding landscape is dyed in the pinks and purples of the dusk filled with crystals protruding from the ground, some as large as a skyscraper. Even the few shy moon creatures you find in the wild have strange crystal growths on their hides. This is far from home— perhaps a dream? You pinch your skin and slap your cheeks, yet nothing seems to do the trick. Searching for answers yields nothing but an endless expanse of purple dust as far as the eye can see. You have four options: one, panic; two, soil yourself; three, admire it all then soil yourself; or four, go into survival mode. Eventually, you’ll realize that you’re not alone.
▶ Keep all Hands and Feet inside the Burning Vehicle at all Times
Iris Moon, Government Center (Arrival) and Outer Space | top
After a day or two of living off the crystal wilderness, a group of people find you worse for wear. They are the gallant Moon Knights from the planet of Prismatica. After the strange phenomenon during the past months when scientists observed the sudden appearance of rainbow crystals in the sky, the government has been feverishly combing through the moon for more Moonblessed to be rescued. You’ll eventually be brought into Iris’s moon government center.
You all may have your usual inquiries — Where are we? Who are you? What's going on? Why did I mix tequila with xanax last night? — and the Prismals are almost too eager to answer. They tell you about their world and about the first appearance of the Moonblessed as the medical staff give you an examination to make sure you’re not carrying any viruses or biological hazards. If you react violently, you may be restrained and nerfed with a specialized neurotransmitting gun that releases a numbing agent through the top of your spine. Once the examinations are over, you’re informed that you will be provided accommodations on their planet during your stay.
While waiting for transport to be prepared, you may freely roam around the government center. Eventually you’re called back from exploring, escorted to the docks, and led onto a large transport vessel that makes frequent trips back and forth between the moons and the planet. Faces onboard vary from both old and new Moonblessed as well as Prismal locals. The next destination: Prismatica.
Sparks can be seen overhead as more ship parts malfunction. This is a good time to hold your neighbor’s hand, say your last goodbyes, and apologize for that horrible thing you did in the sixth grade. Grip your seat with the might of every god you can think of.
▶ Jaws IV: Jaws Harder
Planet Prismatica, Outer Lunatia | top
The emergency landing successfully completes and the transport vessel will safely land on top of a gorgeous lake filled with tiny glaciers floating by. When reached out and touched, you’ll find out that the “glaciers” are surprisingly cool crystals and not ice.
The ship will be left hovering idly on the water surface while passengers are ferried to solid ground using portable emergency boats. However, civilization is still a distance away.
After surviving through so far, the Prismals guide everyone to a nearby encampment run by humanoid rabbits. They are tall, built, and have a habit of mentioning their virility an awkward amount of times. They are also generous and will share their game meat and fresh crops while allowing everyone to rest for the night at the only inn in their village.
The next day, the rabbits can be seen hacking away at some of the wilder-looking plants for an easier pathway. If you wake up early enough, you can ask some of them for a tour of the beautiful greenery. They mention that it’s thanks to the Moonblessed that their crops have been doing so well lately — the result of all the chroma influx. The rest of the journey to the city will be smooth sailing.

A. After settling into the ship and selecting the current in-flight movie, Back Door Slugs 9, you and those around you may eventually feel a bit of turbulence during the movie’s highly anticipated climax. Did anyone notice it, or is everyone too focused on the hot characters?
At first, it’s a small jitter that’s easy to miss or brush off. But as the transport vessel travels on, the shaking progressively escalates to erratic tremors strong enough to cause severe nausea. A minute later, a voice over the speaker announces the ship will have to make an emergency landing, citing technical difficulties.
Sparks can be seen overhead as more ship parts malfunction. This is a good time to hold your neighbor’s hand, say your last goodbyes, and apologize for that horrible thing you did in the sixth grade. Grip your seat with the might of every god you can think of.
B. Another minute later, a follow-up announcement states that external entities have breached the transport vessel. Everyone is warned to be careful and watch out for each other. Small fires will have to be put out before they worsen with either magic or emergency equipment onboard such as extinguishers. In-flight robotic attendants will be scuttling around to perform immediate repairs.
Eventually, an entire power panel bursts, and prismatic jellyfish unnaturally spill out. The jellyfish will try to latch and suction onto any technological devices close by such as the television screens on the seats or communicators and will show preference to Iris Moonblessed over the rest. Be ready to help and pull numerous jellyfish off both the faces of Moonblessed and Prismals!

A. You’ve probably heard of flying sharks from a veteran Moonblessed. But how about sea lions? These aquatic lions are born with scaly skin and gills outside of their crystallized manes. Unfortunately, they haven’t tasted fresh meat in quite some time. If there are any injured onboard or near your boat, the chances of the sea lions detecting people will be higher as they are drawn to the scent of blood. Growling hungrily, they will be quick to latch onto the boats, biting the edges, and trying to knock everyone overboard for dinner.

B. There is no running water all the way out here, so if anyone wants a bath, they’ll have to do it traditionally. The village protects a natural spring, which is a good place to bathe away the sea water. Around the spring, the rabbit folk’s friends — little scintilla chinchillas — will shock away any predators that dare to approach their sanctuary! Be at ease and feel free to offer your friends shampoo massages.

Welcome to Prismatica’s hub, Lunatia, the city of your dreams! A bustling metropolis lush with bright lights, vibrant colors, luxuriant plant life, and all the conveniences of technology absent from your own world… It seems like paradise to all the uninitiated. After a quick tour of the city, new arrivals can find themselves getting cozy in their new homes.
A. Find new roommates and say hello to your neighbors! City officials will give you directions to the designated districts across Level 2 and instruct you to pick out a unit. Each apartment complex has a different aesthetic, some may look cozy, some stylish, and some bizarre. The free accommodations have a basic living space that can only fit two or three people at most in one unit.
Starter Chromaspace furnishings are provided which can be controlled with the touch of a built-in panel. Examples are color-changing curtains, transforming sofa beds, cabinets turning into tables, etc. Customizing your apartment or moving out will have to wait until you earn more chroma. Until then, why don’t you check out your new neighborhood or explore the city levels? Maybe your new roommates or neighbors can give you a “hand” with allowance for dinner.
B. A new high-end boutique, Prissy Polyp, has opened in Level 2. As compensation for what happened, both Moonblessed and Prismals that were affected in yesterday’s flight will receive 50% off their total purchase. Those unaffected will receive 30% discount coupons as a promotional gift. All are encouraged to visit with their friends or special someone, try on some things together,enjoy each other in the fitting rooms, and deal with the loud, ear-blistering background pop music.
Their clothing collections are characterized by bright iridescent designs, some features such as design patterns may glow ethereally in the dark. One of their signature dresses features a one piece (also available on their trench coats) that can amplify the appearance of one’s decolletage, gluteal muscles, and/or bulge with the press of a neon button. Another item among their collection is the maiden sweater: a sleek, backless sweater that shocks those who attempt unwanted touches. Others include skin-tight leggings (also available on their shorts or pants) which produce pleasant and relaxing vibrations on all lower extremities and fashionable polyp-shaped hats for all kinds of people. It’s a huge shop, you never know what else to find in there.

Apparently eye horror will just be a running theme here
Shuanghua still hits around the sea lion's face from the front to make it hesitate if even just for a bit, before it finds another, smaller weak spot, if not enough to stop it--
One eye's lid closes shut tight as blood oozes out.]
it honestly feels like some variant of "it takes one to know one"
Hah. I knew it wouldn't amount to much.
[Sheathing his sword, he... continues to hold Xingchen's wrist. Shhh, he's just not thinking about letting go, yet - and it does feel kind of nice, with the moonlacing and all.]
no subject
It sounded terribly intimidating, and it must have been of massive size. The reason you defeated it so easily is because of your skill and quick thinking.
[He doesn't mind giving more encouragement and praise to the younger ones. It's all true, after all. After shaking off the blood, Shuanghua also returns to its sheath.]
no subject
... It would have been more work without your help.
[He really hates admitting even that much. Maybe he would have been fine without Xingchen and maybe he wouldn't have been, but the fact remains that Ling needs to get much, much better still.
Oh, right... They're also still holding wrists. Ling should probably let go, but... he doesn't want to, yet.]
... I'm keeping my hand on you for now. For Chroma.
[After all, they should probably be sure to top that off, after wasting so much of it.
If Ling also just likes the feeling, well... you'll never prove it!!]
no subject
That was a long time ago, however.
He tries to not laugh at how the other figure assures him that it's only for Chroma. He would've expected it was only that until he mentioned that, but he has no reason to object.]
All right. We don't know if something else might attack as well, so it's best to be ready.
[The only thing holding him back from asking the young man's name is out of his own avoidance of using his own, and not wanting to invite too many personal questions by asking any himself. At least, should they meet again, he figures he'd understand him from voice anyway.]
I only hope that this voyage has been... not terribly difficult for you, thus far.
no subject
It's fine. This much is nothing.
[Yeah, let's stick with that. It's not entirely a lie, anyway - but Ling can't say he's having the time of his life, here.
Now that the fighting's over (for now), Ling eyes Xingchen suspiciously yet again. He doesn't think the man's an imposter - not anymore - but it wouldn't feel right if he didn't at least voice his previous suspicions, sorta kinda.]
... You'd better be the real Xiao Xingchen. If you're an imposter, I'll make you pay.
no subject
Should he really be that surprised? He thought as though someone younger couldn't recognize him, but... everyone said he was quite young himself at the height of his fame.
After a pause, he lets out a laugh.]
Who would ever want to pretend to be Xiao Xingchen?
[They'd have to be one strange individual to pick him of all people to imitate.]
no subject
Xue Yang, for one. Who else would even dare?
[He keeps an eye on Xingchen's reaction, just in case. Then again, if it's Xue Yang in disguise, would he even show any reaction?]
no subject
That man... is it not enough that his actions have driven him away from the cultivation world? Now he has to impersonate him, doubtlessly to carry out more of his crimes. As some sort of mockery, reveling in his victory over him-- isn't he supposed to be dead?
Of course, he was a fool to take the Jin sect at their word!]
How did you know he was impersonating me?
[At least people can tell the difference, helping to contain his anger.]
no subject
[That's... awkwardly phrased, but anyway...]
Besides, he had your sword.
[Which is awkward in another way - but then, who's to say that this youngster would have been able to recognize Shuanghua? It might have been a fake, much like its fake master.]
no subject
It feels like a blow strong enough to knock him over, losing his footing for the briefest moment before steadying himself again. That... that monster holding Shaunghua?]
That must have been a convincing imitation, if he's gone so far as to pretend to be me.
[Not that he cares so much what happens to his name anymore - though he'd be lying if he said he didn't care about that at all - he more fears anyone lulled into some false sense of security around Xue Yang.
He puts his forehead in his hand, as if tending to a sudden, sharp headache.]
The new Sect Leader Jin claimed he'd been executed-- yet he only turned him loose again?
no subject
...!
[He's about to shout that he would do no such thing, until he calms down enough to realize that "the new Sect Leader Jin" mentioned is not, in fact, him. While that is true... he still feels responsible. There is a lot that his sect has done wrong in the past - and hence there is a lot that Ling will have to do better. And he will. He knows that he can, too.]
... It's true that Lanling Jin Sect has made some mistakes in the past. But that won't happen again, so I'll thank you to keep an open mind about them in the future.
no subject
Except that it feels like his past is making its return.
He sighs.]
Just keep on your guard. Hopefully he's not been brought here as well.
[Do the Prismals sort out who they bring here at all? He has to wonder. Whatever the case is, he knows that the both of them can't co-exist in the same place, especially if Xue Yang is masquerading as him like this.]
If you do know he's here, find me again. I'll deal with him.
